Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It has struck me that despite the implausible pairing of Quincy with much younger women, the clashes with the management and the police, this show covered some pretty controversial topics for a 30 year old mainstream show:- * Teenage alcoholism * Elder abuse * Mental health issues * Legislation for lief jackets on plains * Drunk driving *Public health issues such as food contamination/pollution Yes it can be cheesy but I still find many of them watchable and find the range of issues covered impressive for the times. I also think it's quite cool that Mark was actually a technician not an actor who is now a leading DNA expert!

I enjoyed this show both for it's detective stories and activism stories.Far more than that, this show took a stand against child abuse/molestation and incest. Very few TV shows at that time would touch the issue.As an incest survivor I am painfully aware that there is a desperate need for expore, fiction and non-fiction, of this horror that happens to more children than not.I have met very few people who did not eventually admit to me that they had been abused.I have met too many who don't believe it is common or could be happening in any family they know.And if the justice system in this country continues as it has, so will incest and pedophilia.Both are popular. Just look at the message boards and comments on Larry Clark, a mainstream child pornographer who does no time in prison because too many people think his films are "art".

I miss those days when quincy was shown at TV here in Norway. The show was just pure magic. On one side Quincy was the relenteless detective/coroner who gave everything on the job. On the other side he also liked to shoot the breeze, drink, chase woman and have fun. That's what it is all about. The 70's were a dream considering TV series. Just think about cannon, Kojak and Quincy. JUST GREAT. Quincy is "old school, funny and a delight to watch. The style of the 70's seems so much more relaxed and cool compared to that of today.Recommended for everybody that's tired of all the crap shown to day. The 70's rule and Quincy is number one!

I watched "Quincy" when it was on the first time round with my mum, dad & sister. I didn't quite get it the first time around as I was a young lady in those days. However I was fortunate to see it on digital TV in England, and have realized the true, raw, emotion that is Quincy, coroner & all-round good guy.Quincy is insightful. Before all these "CSI" & "Cold Case" programmes, there was Quincy. Was he one step ahead? Let's just say he was on the ball. He knew the truth behind the lies, the evil from the good and the down-right guilty from the innocent. When he had a hunch, you'd better believe he was right. Had a crime to solve? Quincy was your guy.Quincy get what he wants. If there was someone who was holding something back, Quincy had enough on them to solve the case & get the job done.Quincy was a man's man. With soul. He lived & loved like a man who's time was almost up, and it showed. He solved the case when no one else thought it could be done. He felt for the deceased & gave them a voice when everyone else thought it had fallen silent.Quincy has charisma. There was no other man on television who had a hand that was as good with a woman as it was with a dead body.Quincy cares. Sure, Quincy was a man's man; he would be at the bar buying a round for the guys, but he hurts like the rest of us. He just kept it all inside.So there you have it - the man & the myth that is Quincy. There will never be another... all those copy-cats? Well the men want to be him, & the women want to be WITH him. Quincy, you're the best.
